OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHECKING FOR THE PRESENCE OF AC VOLTAGE
1. Press the Power On / Off button. After performing a self-test,
a green LED

will illuminate the tip when no voltage is
detected.
2. Prior to use, test on a known live circuit to verify tester
functionality.
3. Place tip of the tester

will illuminate.
SILENT OPERATION
To activate silent operation, power-ON by pressing and holding
the NCV Power-ON button
1
for more than 2 seconds. Power-
ON in this manner each time silent operation is desired.
CLEANING
Be sure tester is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-
free cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
STORAGE
Remove the batteries when not in use for a prolonged period
of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After
a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits
mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow the tester
to return to normal operating conditions before using.

WIRING CONFIGURATION TESTING
Conditions indicated: wiring correct, open ground, reverse polarity, open hot, open neutral and hot/
ground reversed.
Conditions NOT indicated: quality of ground, multiple hot wires, combinations of defects, reversal of
grounded and grounding conductors.
All appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested should be unplugged to help reduce the
possibility of erroneous readings.
STANDARD RECEPTACLES
1. Verify tester operation by testing on a known live and correctly wired receptacle.
2. Plug tester into receptacle.
3. Compare the illuminated lights on the tester to the key code printed on the tester.
4. If the tester indicates that the receptacle is not wired correctly, consult a qualified electrician.
GFCI RECEPTACLES
1. Check the GFCI receptacle user manual for information on how the specific receptacle operates prior to
using this tester.
2. Insert the tester into the receptacle under test to check for correct wiring (See FIG. 1). Lights on the
tester should illuminate.
3. Press the "TEST" button on the GFCI receptacle.
Did the GFCI trip and the lights on the tester go dark?
YES: Reset the GFCI by pressing the reset button. Proceed to step 4.
NO: The GFCI is not operating properly or the receptacle is miswired. Consult a qualified electrician.
4. Press and hold the test button on the tester for 7 seconds.
Did the GFCI trip and the lights on the tester go dark?
YES: Reset the GFCI by pressing the reset button. The GFCI appears to be operating properly.
NO: The GFCI is not operating properly or the receptacle is miswired. Consult a qualified electrician.
